Tom,

Sorry I was looking to see if there were any upcoming DC classes.  No worries.  I thought they may be listed and couldn't seem to find them.

I am starting a Step on/ Escort company here in NJ.  The wheels are in motion and my attorney is working on the details.

I will keep you informed.

Tom,

I taught computer technology and speech, served as library media specialist, and coached football. I'm looking at putting my experience with kids and adults to work as a tour director. Thanks for asking. What about yourself? What's your background?

Hi Tom I hope all is well I had a very successful student tour season I did two tours for Kaliedscope Adventures,One tour for Educational Discovery Tours,some work as a step-on

guide in Washington for Joshua Expeditions and Baltimore Rent-A-Tour. Currently I am working as a guide for a new sightseeing company in Philly called Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours I am doing 4 90 minnute tours on either a trolly or double decker bus. So far I have not been able to book any Fall Foilage Tours. I have started to book some student tours for April 2012. Next time you are in Philly stop by the Borse where our tours depart and say hello.
